Episode 152: Amber Lane Water Single Malt Whisky
31 December, 2025
The Alchemical Series was released by Amber Lane in October 2024 with five offerings, each named after an element of ancient Science. Each has a different twist on cask finishing and fast or slow proofing and the results vary considerably. We start this off with the Water and see for ourselves how slow-proofing has impacted this dram. It’s not what you’d expect…

Episode 101: Cape Byron The Original Single Malt Whisky
21 July, 2025
The Cape Byron Distillery is located within a 2-1/2hr drive from my home in Brisbane, Australia. I’m not accustomed to being so close to a Distillery and in my Whisky journey, this turned out to be the first one I’ve ever visited! I managed to obtain six samples of their offerings…today I talk about the history of how the Distillery came to be, how Eddie Brook and Jim McEwan met and how they collaborated to create the distillery and, obviously, I review their entry-level offering simply called The Original.

Episode 100: The Naked Malt Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
16 July, 2025
The artist formerly known at The Famous Grouse, came highly recommended to me by the Scotch 4 Dummies. I look into the constituent components of this dram, the SWAs ruling on Pure Malt vs Vatted Malt vs Blended Malts, as well as the impending sale of the brand to William Grant & Sons. Whilst I was somewhat skeptical at first, I review the Naked Malt and finally truly nail how all-Malts are so distinctively different than grain Whiskies. Is this my new best value Scotch?

The last of the Smokeheads from the Gift Pack I acquired is now up for try. The High Voltage is a 58% ABV offering and it lives up to its name. I look at some of the history of Ian Macleod, the distilleries they own, and that they don’t as well as mention some other Smokehead offerings. In the end though, as I review this Scotch…I can’t say that they didn’t warn me.

The Smokehead Trifecta continues with their Rum Rebel offering. It’s the first Rum-finished cask I’ve ever tried and it is, well, different for sure… I also shake my head a bit at the ’trendy’ website description and tasting notes but ultimately is this dram any good? Let’s find out.

Smokehead is a brand, not a Distillery, owned by Ian Macleod whose primary focus is to produce an affordable, heavily peated Scotch Whisky. Their original offering is relatively affordable and their range comes from an unnamed Islay Distillery. I look into the speculation and most likely what it ACTUALLY is, and then see if this is as Smokey as they claim…
